EU Humour
The European Commission has just announced
an agreement whereby English will be the official language
of
the European
Union rather
than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the
negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling
had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5 year phase-in
plan that would become known as Euro-English.

's' will replace the soft 'c'. Sertainly, this will make the
sivil servants jump with joy. The hard 'c' will be dropped in
favour of 'k'. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards
kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm
in the sekond year when the troublesome 'ph' will be replased
with 'f '. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In
the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted
to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which
have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre
that the horibl mes of the silent leters in the languag is disgracful
and should go away.
